Giving Thanks for YOU

Welcome back!

My children are overflowing with boundless enthusiasm this morning.  Between the decorating opportunities, baking and parade viewing, they hardly know where to start!  I love witnessing their zest for life, and am eternally grateful for their bright reminders of all that we have to be thankful for. 

In honor of Thanksgiving, I offer this (partial) list of that which I hold dear to my heart every day:

• This amazing, beauty-filled, sometimes painful, always interesting journey called LIFE
• My daughters
• Extraordinary friends
• Loving family
• Fine chocolate
• Fair trade, shade grown, organic Suhaweli coffee
• Health 
• YOU

Whatever you do today, however you celebrate, my Thanksgiving wish is that you know the difference you make in the world just by being you!
